can u let me know if the setup which i explained will / should work.

please do let me know incase i have missed something. sorry if i am troubling u guys.
I think it's unlikely you'll be able to ssh to a GPRS ip address that your phone has. I believe people have set up some arcane forwarding (search the site for it) to allow this to happen over multiple steps, but a straight ssh to the ip assigned by your phone's data provider seems very unlikely.

Can you ssh to the phone from your laptop when they are on the same network (either an adhoc wifi supplied by the phone or a wi-fi network they both connect to)?
